The much awaited film which will see Mammootty playing an Achayan will release on August 8 instead of August 9

Kadal Kadannu Oru Maathukutty is an upcoming Malayalam film directed by Ranjith starring Mammootty in the lead role of an Achayan from Travancore. The film will see Mammootty playing an NRI husband. He is married to a nurse who works in Germany. He’s on a special assignment of German Malayalis and reaches Kottayam for it. But once he’s in the town, he gets into other problems. How he sorts the problems forms the rest of the story.

Madhu Neelakandan is the cinematographer and Shahabas Aman is the music director.

The film is produced by Prithviraj, Santosh Sivan and Shaji Natesan under the banner of August Cinem. It releases on August 8, 2013. If sources are to be believed, the release has been advanced in favour of Mammootty’s son Dulquar Salman whose film Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi is to release on August 9. Thus, there won’t be clash between the father and son films!
